dispersion forces
The strongest intermolecular force between two molecules of water in ice is hydrogen bonding.
The intermolecular force in BF3 is London dispersion forces. This is because BF3 is a nonpolar molecule, so the only intermolecular force it experiences is the temporary weak attraction between temporary dipoles.
The intermolecular force between BF3 molecules in liquid state is London dispersion forces. This is because BF3 is a nonpolar molecule and London dispersion forces are the primary intermolecular force among nonpolar molecules.
Intermolecular attraction
In the case of a covalent bond, the intramolecular force is stronger than the intermolecular force. The covalent bond holds atoms together within a molecule, while intermolecular forces are weaker interactions between molecules.
The primary intermolecular force present in tetraphosphorus (P4) is London dispersion forces, which are a type of van der Waals force. These forces arise due to temporary fluctuations in electron density that create instantaneous dipoles, leading to induced dipoles in neighboring molecules. While P4 is nonpolar and has no significant dipole-dipole interactions or hydrogen bonding, London dispersion forces are sufficient to account for its physical properties, such as its relatively low melting and boiling points compared to polar substances.
The strongest intermolecular force between two molecules of water in ice is hydrogen bonding.
A force acting between two different molecules
The main intermolecular forces between water molecules are hydrogen bonds which are pretty strong as far as intermolecular forces go. Between hydrocarbon chains (oil) the main intermolecular force are London force which are weaker. For two liquids to be miscible the intermolecular forces between them have to be similar in strength or they won't dissolve. Water and oil have different strengths of intermolecular bonds so don't mix.

No. A covalent bond acts solely within a molecule.An intermolecular force acts between two or more separate molecules
Intermolecular attraction
ion to dipole
In the case of a covalent bond, the intramolecular force is stronger than the intermolecular force. The covalent bond holds atoms together within a molecule, while intermolecular forces are weaker interactions between molecules.
These are the hydrogen bonds between molecules.
